About the English Springer Spaniel

According to the AKC - The English Springer Spaniel is a sweet-faced, lovable bird dog of great energy, stamina, and brains. Sport hunters cherish the duality of working Springers: handsome, mannerly pets during the week, and trusty hunting buddies on weekends. Built for long days in the field, English Springer Spaniels are tough, muscular hunters standing 19 to 20 inches at the shoulder and weighing between 40 and 50 pounds.

The double coat comes in several colors and patterns, the ears are long and lush, and the kindly, trusting expression of the eyes is a cherished hallmark of the breed. Springers move with a smooth, ground-covering stride. Bred to work closely with humans, Springers are highly trainable people-pleasers. They crave company and are miserable when neglected. Polite dogs, Springers are good with kids and their fellow mammals. They are eager to join in any family activity. Long walks, games of chase and fetch, and swimming are favorite pastimes of these rugged spaniels.
 
Right now our dogs are all liver and white. We hope to add black and white to our program in the future!  Our focus will be on standard colors; liver and white, black and white and possibly both with tan markings (tri) and lots of freckles (known as ticking).

​Whether a puppy is going to a pet or a show / sport home, the breed standard plays an important role in and distinguishing different breeds of animals. Adhering to breed standard colors can also help maintain the integrity of the breed and ensure that animals are bred responsibly.
